The 4th is always celebrated with a bbq and then some wonderful fireworks...always filled with family and friends. We get to watch them go off on a barge and it is beautiful over the water. And red well it is just one of my favorite colors along with yellow and pink. Have a great celebration with friends and family...we all need to celebrate our freedom day!

Recently bought a huge, awesome red curtain with black dots in the as/is section of Ikea, would love some ideas to turn it into something awesome, though one thing's set, I need a circle skirt of it, hehe.

Being European, the 4th is kinda like a normal day for me?

For summer I don't really have planned anything, we'll see what summer will bring us, of course apart from a little (rather bouncy!) baby in 8 weeks. :)

Red is my son's favorite color so it has gradually become one of my favorites also. I think we all secretly love red. It is the color of passion and love. I mean what woman wouldn't want a dozen or so red roses...and what about those big red hearts full of yummy chocolate. melsdaisypatch at gmail dot com

We're going to LakeGeorge in upstate New York for 4 days. I'm hopping we have beautiful weather. I agree that heart quilt is beautiful, I'd also love to make one. Thanks for the great giveaway, have a happy 4th! ;-> Toni Anne

Well, red is one of my favorite colors -- I'm always drawn to its warmth and boldness! Also, this giveaway ends on my wedding anniversary - we will be married 5 years on July 5, and are taking our first kid-free trip together! Winning this cool book would clearly be the cherry on top of an already great day!

I recently purchased quite a few yards of various red fabrics to make a red and white quilt. Saw a very cute pattern in one of my quilt magazines. The 4th is going to be a quiet day. Probably out and about at the river or park.

I am going to be very patriotic for the holiday...going to Gettysburg for the 150th celebration of the battle. I'm sure in my travels from Maine, I can find a fabric store or two and add to my red fabric stash!

Red is my favorite color and I'm striving to have my guest room full of red and white quilts and that book looks wonderful. Love the quilt with the hearts!! We're celebrating my MIL's 85th birthday on the fourth with a lot of the family coming in. It should be a good time.

I adore red! I have a red kitchen, livingroom, and sewing room. Plus one of my spare bedrooms has lots of red in it, along with other colors. We are going to see some grandkids in Arizona for the 4th of July. I have the sparklers all ready!keels@mvdsl.com

Hi Corrie. I just found you blog. I remember in my grandmother's house she had this red fourmika kinda stuff for her counter tops. She was so in love with red. Family is coming over for the 4th of July Bar B Q. I would so love to win this super cute book. Hugsdonna

Each yr for the 4th my aunt hosts a pool party for all extended family. It's the one time a yr we get together. We have a blast! We eat too much, talk too much, swim into the night, and watch nearby city fireworks from her backyard. It's awesome!

So pretty! When we moved into our new house, we needed all new appliances. When it came to washers and dryers, I insisted that we get the red ones. The sales associate laughed at me because I had written that I needed them in "swanky red" on my paper. They make me happy every time I have to do laundry. (And with a 10.5 month old, that's a lot!)

I love red, its a great color, but I take it in small doses or I find it overwhelming.

My plans for THIS weekend (which is Canada Day up here) involve going to an anime convention on Saturday, and then doing NOTHING! Given that today is the last day of school, nothing sounds quite divine at this point :)

I had a gorgeous piece of red fabric that had swirls of blue, gold and green in it. When I made my grandsons' quilt, he wanted red, black, and white so when he saw that fabric piece, he had to have it for his quilt. What is a great Grandmother supposed to do? Why, cut it up and put it in his quilt of course! Thanks for a great giveaway.

Comment about something red? It is my favorite color. Currently I am working on a Jelly Roll 1600 in French General - red. Working 12 hour night shifts means it needs to be EASY. I am also doing the FWS in red and white. Now, if I could just talk my husband into a new RED car! Thanks for the chance to win. Book looks awesome.

I am currently working on a red, black and white music themed quilt for my Sister. She is in the high school band and those are the school colors. She'll be a senior this fall and thought it would make a great late birthday, beginning the school year gift.

Very nice book. Something red. Let me see. I did buy this red pok dot material a few years ago when I was on a bus trip which I loved. I liked putting it in scrap quilts which stood out nicely. Mixed with pink and white it just popped. Thanks for having a give away. Oh I just won some red material that I am excited about.

Red has always been my favourite colour. When i was a little girl, I always wanted my eyes to be red, not blue. I have to admit, it my younger years, i did manage to make them red...lol. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great book

I LOVE RED, it is my favorite color too!! I think that book looks terrific, and I would love to have it. We are spending the 4th with our Son. Neither of us have much money so sharing will be the day. I do have a red shirt even if it's going to be HOT! I like watching the celebrations on TV, the Boston Pops will finish our evening. Thank you for the chance to win! jlblvn@gmail.com

12 years of friends and bbqs. We cook baby back ribs and head to good ole Melba Idaho for the greatest fireworks. It's a great day. Every year since my son was deployed I'm so grateful for his service to our country and that he came home safely and my heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones defending this great country

I would love to have a red quilt!! We always have a family get-together on the 4th of July. My aunt has a birthday that day so we usually have lunch and sit around and visit til supper time and then eat again!!paweis at yahoo dot com

This isn't about red fabric but it is about red... My sister had the most beautiful red, naturally curly hair. My oldest daughter has beautiful red hair but hers is straight like mine (which isn't red). My daughter is now pregnant with a little girl due in August. We are all hoping for red hair!

It's the 4th of Zoo-ly this year - family - and more family coming to our home in the woods. A parade downtown to celebrate being an American and to thank our troops (!!), then home for some smoked chicken and ribs and enjoy our company. Thanks for the chance to win!

I love red my favorite color. I have lots of red , white and blue blocks and made a super blanket for the beach or picnicking. My sil was here for a beach day and voila it had a new home! Guess I will make another with my blocks that are left, I have plenty!,:D

I wear lots of red, it makes me feel warm on cold days, if we get a hot day I just cool it down with aqua. We do not celebrate July 4th but in our house we do Christmas in the middle of July complete with tree and gifts.

I absolutely love red paired with black and white! Our daughter is getting married this weekend so the 4th will be spent quietly with some sown time after the hoopla! Would love a little excitement created by winning this book! Please add me to the list! Thank you! Carolyn

I'm doing a d9p with that nice splash of red in the center of black and white fabrics. Now I need that red and black bag from Patty Young! I don't know how I'll get those two items together, but I'll try. Maybe a beach blanket and bag???

I was searching in my stash for some reds today and I have way more than I realised. I'm getting together with some quilting friends tomorrow to make Quilts of Valor blocks. So, I'm going to have some room for new reds in my stash.

Red is one of my favorite colors and is in most of my rooms in my house. Plus I am a huge supporter of Go Red for women as I had open heart surgery when I was 47. I think this book looks awesome. I hope to win it but if not I am going to purchase it.

I'm so excited! Red has always been my favorite color. At this very moment I am eating some red strawberries. My plans for July Fourth include having my son-in-law put new flooring in my sewing room. Isn't that wonderful of him to do on his day off? This week I'm painting the room and will be making new curtains, which will be red!

I adore red. My upcoming baby is even going to me named Ruby. I worry that she'll grow up to hate it because of all the red things that are going to happen to her but I just love it. What a fabulous book!

Red Sparkle Cake for the family ... yum! This is a wonderful giveaway, thank you.I think that red enhances every room - maybe a lot or just a touch. I like red bindings on quilts. You can get some of that Prince Charming still at equilter.com.Happy 4th!

A couple of years ago I was replacing the sectional in our family room. Now, I'm partial to blue and brown and thought I would go with those colors but the decorator strongly suggested red. We followed her suggestion and could not be happier. It's more of a cranberry red but so fabulous.

I love red...my dream couch is red...stylish for me very comfy for my husband. Yet small enough to fit into our quite small loft of sorts. My first quilt was red and pink! Happy 4th to everyone. Blessings, d
